I haven’t quite made my five week target for getting the book finished, but nearly there. Please be patient just a little bit longer.

I too can’t wait for publication.
You’re doing an amazing job!
Struggling with sacro-iliac dysfunction (clunking and clicking in the hips) and a general diagnosis of osteoarthritis – PAIN!
Thank you Peter!
The good news is, the imbalance behind most (I suspect ALL) cases of hip OA will also make you prone to SI joint problems. The info in the book will make sense of many of your symptoms and **I HOPE** give you the plan to finally sort it all out!
I’m not ignoring the fact that some OA cases truly are caused by something wrong with the hip joint itself. However, regardless of the cause of the hip problems you end up with the same muscle imbalance. It stands to reason that if the muscle imbalance that CAUSES hip and other pain is also CAUSED BY hip pain, then you can’t be ignoring it. Regardless of the cause you MUST address the muscle imbalance.
I’m now just struggling with images, formatting etc – then working out how to publish. My husband is helping me with it now so shouldn’t be too long.
Thank you Susan.
I do have a ‘dried out’ L5/S1 disc with the joint on it’s way to fusing – presumably this is adding to/causing the muscle imbalance (which I am sure you are right about).
All the best
Peter.
I wouldn’t write yourself off yet. I have degenerative changes in both hips and my spine/neck. According to the doctors this explained all of my symptoms. In actual fact, those degenerative changes were a result of the imbalance. When the imbalance went away so did all symptoms. I’m sure I still have degenerative changes in the joints, but they are no more of a problem than a healed scar on the skin.
Obviously we can’t possibly know until you fix the imbalance. But regardless of what they tell us, the doctors really don’t know either. Either way, fixing the imbalances is good for you and you might, like me, find there’s nothing wrong once you’ve addressed that.
Thank you for giving us hope, something the medics seem to lack!
I am eager to get started on what I am sure will be the fix, though I know it will take time and perseverance.
I’m confident that this will at least help everyone that’s willing to apply themselves. You need to think about it too – not just mindlessly doing the exercise program. It won’t be the complete answer for everyone, but if people give me feedback I’m happy to keep learning and refining and hopefully together we can come up with a comprehensive solution for ALL cases. In theory, if you understand it well enough, a resolution in 3 months or so should be possible. I think with my current understanding (that I’m putting in the book) a year is a more realistic target – probably longer to completely fix everything. But at the end you could be in better shape than you’ve ever been in your life. That’s how it’s worked out for me. The work you need to put into fixing things makes you better than ever!
looking forward to it…keep the hard work going
Thanks Pat 🙂
I am working hard on it. Trouble is, I keep finding things I want to change and improve. It’s never going to be perfect tho’ so I’ll just need to stop and publish at some point very soon!
I can add to the info in the book via the website.
I hope you’re doing well!
No final draft is perfect..in any field..as u say u can always add
